11 lbs......

What!! Why didn't I think of this meal choices thing a long time ago? I am down 11 lbs since Monday - I am sure a lot of it is water, but I am certianly not complaining. I guess some of it can be contributed to the fact that I have been trying to walk every night also. So the exercise and the healthy eating must be working. I am so excited!! I think that when you see results even if they are small they truly make a huge difference for motivation. I am over the top today. I can't believe it 11 lbs since Monday!! I am sure it will slow down next week as I don't want to lose it to fast that I can't keep it off, but I am also not complaining either.

Today should be a nice spring day so a walk in the park this afternoon/evening should be a great way to get moving. I love that the weather is getting nicer and that I can walk outside - I do have a membership to a gym however sometimes I just can't motivate myself to stay inside when it is so nice outside. I am so excited that I have started this new journey. I also found out that I like green peppers - me - I like them......WHAT!! Did I just say I like green peppers - yep that is certainly what I said. I never even knew that I liked them and I am 34....guess I have never really thought about it and just said no because I thought I didn't like them. I think sometimes you are trained at a young age to not like certain things and you just go through life believing that you don't.......

Well I am out of here for now....be back tomorrow for more. :)

Meal Choices

So it has been a super long time since I have blogged about anything. My life got really crazy and things got crazy and blogging seemed to take to much time, but I realized that blogging is really a type of therapy and so I can't stop and really need to start again, so here it goes.

I have started this new plan called "meal choices" it is a local catering company and they prepare all the food and then deliver it or you can pick it up, same idea as like nutrisytem etc.... but it is all local and fresh food not pre packaged foods....the food is similar to what you would eat if you were doing the Southbeach diet - low carb. Super yummy and really worth it, I have lost 8 lbs in the last 3 days which I am sure is partially water, but I am super proud of myself. I plan to do this for 3 months and see where it takes me and if it works then I will live it for life.... I want to be healthy and this is a really good way to do it. I have already found that I enjoy eating healthier foods it makes me feel better. I also can't help but thinking about all the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle. I am so happy that I have made this choice and am excited to be on my journey to a new me again. :)
